I am working on a proposal for a project that would involve transmittal of power from an offshore wind turbine to the "main island." This will require running submarine cable. The waters are shallow, and the bottom is coral. Any suggestions for cable types? How about methods of securing the cable (i.e., dig a trench, or lay the cable on the coral and secure it with hold-down straps, or mount the cable on stanchions that are driven into the coral and are spaced close enough to keep the cable from touching the bottom)?
Anybody ever done this type of project before?
